Rules

If each Cost Center is mapped to a single profit center, can that be stored as a Text attribute in the metadata and then referenced in Transformation Rules?

We are trying to develop logic to do the following during transformation: If the G/L account in the load is in a certain range and the UD2 member is valid, load to that intersection      otherwise If the G/L account in the load is in that same range but the UD2 member is invalid, map UD2 to None   Has anyone gotten something similar to work?   Thanks,Bil

Hi,  I have a list of "segments" in the text 2 property for each Entity. For each Entity I would need to see these "segments" as columns in a cube view, so I need to return a "member list" however these "segments" are separated with a pipe ("|") delimiter in the text 2 property. The above "segments" in the Text 2 line are already defined as UD2 members in the Dimensions section. I was investigating the use of an XFBR formula however I can only return the first member list in the Text 2 property and not a list. Any advise would be helpful. Thanks  

Dear Community,   I have a use case where the user would like to change a value by clicking a button. when I click on the "+" icon, it will add 1 into my parameter shown in the label, and when I click on "-", this would remove 1. Very simple, it can be done just with an input but I would like to do it with icons just for fun 🙂   Basically, this looks like this : I was thinking of using an XBRL but not sure on how it would fit ?   Regards,  

Hi,   I am looking for a Business Rule (DataQualityEventhandler) to send e-mail notifications when "Set IC Transaction Status" is used. I know how to send e-mail when the "Set IC Transaction Status" is used. The challenge is to get the comment and other information from the ICMatchStatus table and to pick up the e-mail addresses to send to. So, I want to check for the entity in the ICMatchStatus table and all users with access to that entity should then receive the e-mail notification. I want to use the e-mail on the users to create the e-mail list for sending e-mails.   It's more or less the same as with the journals. If a journal is for example created, then an e-mail is sent to the users that can approve the journal. The e-mail will then also contain the journal they are suppose to approve and/or post. This I have, but the ICTransactionStatus is a bit    Regards, Peter  

Good Morning, Everyone --  I have a report which showcase forecasted KPIs using a set of assumptions and conditions. There is a growth rate that is been used to grow the KPI for each forecasted month.  Do we have something similar within Golf Stream?  Would appreciate any ideas. Thank you!

We currently use the XFR_MemberListRanked business rule (from Golf Stream) to rank items in our cube views.  We have a request to rank based on percentage.  I'm curious if anyone has a solution for this or has done this in their application.   

Hello, Apologies if this seems like a rather basic question but I couldn't see anything in the Golfstream app. Is there a standard business rule I can take which copies data from one POV into another and modify it so I can effectively combining two base entities into one?  Thanks, Oliver

Hello everyone -    As the title mentions. How do I grab a list of entity members which contains the word "district" within its name/description? 

Hi OS gurus. Hoping to get a little help on converting a Hyperion line of codethat is using SUMRANGE to OneStream. Here is the Essbase line I am trying to convert: IF(@ISMBR("Assoc Ex Elim"))@SUMRANGE("Cash - Asset",@CHILDREN("Assoc Ex Elim"));ENDIF This piece of code is going to reside in a Flow member that has already been setup as a DynamicCalcTextInput member. It already has codewhere it is calculating account "A29970 - Assoc Ex Elim" based on if a Cash account is positive or negative. It works good but is doing it for all UD1 members, we want UD1 member named"Assoc Ex Elim" to not use this Cash account formula but rather just consolidate what it's children have. This is what the Hyperion code is doing. I have tried the following but no data comes back for it:If api.Pov.Account.Name = "A29970"Dim UD1NAME As String = api.Pov.UD1.Name   If api.Pov.UD1.Name = "Assoc Ex Elim"    api.Data.Calculate("F#ENDBALCALC=F#ENDBALCALC","A#A29970",,,,"UD1#[Assoc Ex Elim].Childr

Hi - I have created a routine in Connector Rule to fetch the Worker data from HCM and I was able to assign it to a variables and able to print it successfully.   My question is below    1. How I can assign the variables to the List because I am trying to use this connector rule in Data Source and trying to bring the data to the OS stage Area ? is it possible, My function return type is task for the RESTAPI call.   2. Or I can create a Extender Rule and create a Table in the Backend and import into the table and create an another connector rule to bring it to the stage.   Any suggestion would be appreciated.   Thanks Krishna

Hi All, I'm looking to filter a dynamic calculation by the base of my income statement and balance sheet accounts. The result of this dynamic calc will be leveraged within a confirmation rule.  Do you have any suggestion on how to effectively filter this?  Thank you in advance.

Hi Experts,   I have the following rule to translate my opening balance adjustment (entered manually in the current year) at an opening rate.   If (api.Cons.IsCurrency() And Not api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyforEntity()) Then 'Only run for foreign currency Dim timeId As Integer = api.Pov.Time.MemberPk.MemberId Dim prioryearid As Integer = api.Time.GetLastPeriodInPriorYear(timeid) Dim rateTypeClo As FxRateType = api.FxRates.GetFxRateTypeForAssetLiability() ' get closing rate from prior year Dim pycloRate As Decimal = api.FxRates.GetCalculatedFxRate(rateTypeClo,prioryearid) 'use closing rate from PY to translate this member api.Data.calculate("F#ObalAdj = C#Local:F#ObalAdj*" & pyclorate,"A#Bs.Base") End If   While this works perfectly for data entered via Forms, it doesn't work for adjustments entered via journals.

Customer has intercompany transactions in local currency. They want to eliminate sales and cost of sales and have the remaining margin (in local currency) at the Sales entity - not in an elimination entity - and be able to view in local currency.  For the entity purchasing the goods, it should be zero. Is it possible to do this in rules? Or some other way?    thank you

Hello How does one write an aggregation business rule? I know Accounts aggregate automatically, but a business  rule is needed for Entities, correct? In Essbase we could have something like:   FIX ("2025","Jan":"Dec","Actual") Calc DIM ("Account","Source","Product","ResponsibilityCenter","Interco","Entity","Location"); ENDFIX;

Hi, I'm trying to set up some new Cash Flow accounts, and as usual I'm looking at the existing CF accounts to see how they've been set up. However, I'm pretty new to OneStream, and I'm struggling to make sense of some of the Syntax.  I've had a look in the 'OneStream XF Reference Guide.pdf'  but there isn't much info there.   Where can I find more info on Member Formula Syntax?  Is there another document that I'm missing?

Equity Accounting And Methods   A consolidation method is just a way to treat an entity during consolidation based on how much of it you own or control.  It makes sense, if you only own 10% of an entity, and another entity has an asset recorded for the value of that investment, you would be overstating your value if you let it add up at 100%.  The following are the most common methods you might see.   Subsidiary: Entity owned at >50% The Subsidiaries financial statements are consolidated and eliminated.  The Equity associated with the subs financial statements are eliminated against the Holding companies Investment in the sub.  If the Sub is not 100% owned, the owned portion of Equity is eliminated and the unowned portion is reclassed to Minority Interest.   Equity: 50% >Entity owned >20% An Entity held, as Equity Method is NOT consolidated.  The Net Income of the Entity is multiplied by the Equity holding and the result is booked to the

Equity pickup (EPU) is a method of reevaluating the investments owned by a holding company allowing the parent to realize changes in equity. This results in the holding company’s balance sheet showing the current value of the corresponding share in the equity of the subsidiary. Investments are normally shown at historical or acquisition cost.  But an invested company has a value that can vary based on profit and loss they are incurring.  The equity pickup adjustment offsets the historical cost in local currency, showing the actual value of the equity owned.  Direct Ownership Percentage * Equity of Owned Entity = Current Equity Value - Investment = Equity Pickup Adjustment You can calculate the adjustment by simply taking the direct ownership percentage multiplied by the equity of the entity owned then subtract the investment in the parent.  In OneStream the ownership percentage can be entered directly on the entity or by creating a Ownership cube.  But once thi

OneStream Platform releases will periodically include an update to the Business Rules compiler, which is noted in each version’s Release Notes.  The enhancements typically make the compiler stricter in detecting syntax or other conditions, which are surfaced through Error or Warning messages.     Error messages must be resolved, as the Business Rules will not complete the compile process. Warning messages are exposed to provide guidance to the Administrator.  The displayed line items will still function but should be updated to support the latest compiler’s requirements.  The method to resolve the Warning will vary.  In some cases, a replacement function may be available, or there may be a change to a function’s properties. Example   The above error message informs the Administrator of a Warning on the LookupRowFieldValue function having a property change.  By reviewing the current rule, and by looking at the current Function Definition, th

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Hi All,We are at the point in our implementation where we are thinking about managing security and our userbase. We are going to have ~600 users as we are very decentralized with our financial management, and we currently have our SSO setup with SAML. We use ServiceNow internally for all things workflow/helpdesk related and were going to be building the workflow for user creation/modification and their roles. Knowing that OneStream also uses ServiceNow for their integration I am wondering if there’s any thing out there to automate certain things from ServiceNow, or if we can script a .xml file out of ServiceNow to our staging database and have that loaded to OneStream to make the changes. If anyone has any ideas or experience I’d love to hear, as we are going to be having our OneStream system as an “in-scope” software from an audit perspective and want to have some tight controls around user management. Thanks,Jeff

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Hi all, I have a very random request for anyone who may have the time to review and hopefully point me in the right direction. The formula calc is an on account and is unbalanced - I’m specifying more dimensions on the right side of the equation than the left (T#, E# and C#) which is giving me a data explosion error. I have examples of formulas currently in use where T# is on one side but not the other and the formula works fine so I’m guessing it’s an issue with E# and C# but I can’t seem to figure out how to make it work Here’s the formula:If Not api.Entity.HasChildren And api.Cons.IsLocalCurrencyForEntity ThenDim vEnt As String = api.Pov.Entity.NameSelect Case vEntCase “ENT_1095”api.Data.Calculate(“A#520_211010:V#Periodic:O#Import:F#EndBal:U1#NABalanceSheet:U3#Source:U4#None:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#None =A#ACC_SAP_134450:T#POVPriorYearM12:E#ENT_2000:C#CAD:V#Periodic:O#Import:F#EndBal:U1#NABalanceSheet:U3#Source:U4#None:U5#None:U6#None:U7#None:U8#N

SOURCE: ONESTREAM CHAMPIONS Hi all, I’m largely self taught with vb, but have hit a wall with this, and thought I’d share here rather than ask the OS helpdesk, as it seems to be something that could prove useful to others. I’m trying to write a calculated account which refers an entity Text field, using multiple values varied by time in the calculation. We set a value for Cost of production for certain categories of products (spares and accessories) by % on a varied by time basis on the entity. This can vary from year to year (in theory could vary in year) Specifically, I want to find the value that is valid at prior year end and subtract the current value from that. The value may have been set earlier M12 may conain no value but M8 of the same prior year does, for example. I’ve introduced a loop to try and go back through periods until a value is found, but can’t see whether that’s working as I’m still getting an error message. Dim PeriodPOV As Integer = api.POV.Time.MemberId Dim Prio

Hi All, I'm trying to call out a XFBR string w/in a XFBR string in the column set of my CV (snip below).  Our consultant initially setup the first XFBR so that we could report on completed weeks of the month while rendering zero for the future weeks.  The logic works great but is dependent on manually entered parameters.  This is when I tried to introduce the second XFBR string to dynamically determine the prior week so that we can automate distribution of this output.  After pushing in the second XFBR string I get an error when running the CV of, 'Input string was not in a correct format' (see second snip).  I've tried to pass in the week value as an integer, a string, and as an Int32 value but nothing has worked yet.  I've also tried with and without the brackets [ ] on the CV column set, but no luck.  Any suggestions out there?  Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bryan
